First, a request OR call it a contest to all shipwatchers of the sixth boro or any who journey there on or about end August/begin September: a material prize for the best shot of 15-masted power vessel Flinterduin entering or traversing the sixth boro with its cargo of 20 traditional sailing vessels. Material . . to be negotiated. I’d camp out on the Narrows myself, but my job might conspire to compel me elsewhere.

Sometimes the name alone enhances a drab foto, but morning sunlight came to my rescue here and name plus image (IMHO) make this just a magical foto. Click on foto of River Wisdom, built 15 years ago, to enlarge.
